UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Description:ENGINE BLOCK BECAME INFESTED WITH RATS/MICE OVERNIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE RESULT OF SOY-BASED COMPONENTS USED BY HYUNDAI. NO OTHER CARS ON MY BLOCK HAD THIS PROBLEM (I WAS ABLE TO SURVEY THE VEHICLE OWNERS BECAUSE WE ALL WERE THERE WAITING FOR STREET CLEANING TO OCCUR.) IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT THE RATS/MICE WERE ATTRACTED BY THE MATERIALS USED BY HYUNDAI AND ANECDOTAL REPORTS SUGGEST THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM AMONG MANY CAR MANUFACTURERS, BUT ESPECIALLY ONES THAT USE SOY BASED COMPONENTS SUCH AS HYUNDAI, LAND ROVER, AND HONDA.
